I remember this dropping and being in absolute awe at the time. It was just so ridiculous but brilliant. I remember instantly ringing my best friend asking if she had seen it, and then everyone was talking about it in class the next day also. The whole thing just felt so EXCITING, especially as someone who really liked Gaga!

One very obvious one for me, seeing the video for Hung Up for the first time on GMTV (over 10 years ago now, wow). I wasn't a Madonna fan at all before that, but being a massive ABBA fan I gave it a listen and became obsessed and, well, the rest is history.

The only other massive one would be hearing 'Hero' for the first time and being utterly OBSESSED with it for a very long time. Conveniently, or perhaps because of such important moments, both are vying for my top song of all time.

Yeah, I remember this being the talk of my school at the time too. Everyone was quoting "once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger" and "you can still see the crack in that mother-f***er reflection" and just how bizarre everything was. And let's not get started on the fact Gaga POISONED a DOG! All of her videos were hugely talked about but this one was a particular talking point.

YES the quotes were left, right and centre! And you're right - 'Poker Face', 'Paparazzi', 'Bad Romance' and 'Born This Way' would come into my head for hugely talked about videos too. Perhaps also 'Alejandro' as well, Twitter was blowing up at the time over the controversy! 'The Fame Monster' trio of videos were enormous topics of discussion really, Gaga does know how to get everyone talking *.*

These were the 2 songs that got me into music, both incredible Also as you posted Jade, the Telephone video also had a massive impact on me

I was fully expecting you to post 'Shake It Off' in here Sam! That's cool to see those two songs got you into music though, 2007/8 were particularly good years for me too.

I've had a bunch, but here's one that's probably most relevant to Buzzjack: in September 2011, I'd been chart-watching for just over a year, but I was still stuck in my teenage music snob phase and it was a secret hobby of sorts and I wasn't willing to admit to anyone or myself that I liked or paid attention to pop music. Then "We Found Love" and its video came out, and at first I was a tad lukewarm towards it until I wasn't and I caught myself watching the video ten times straight one night and jumping around to it in my room like a f***ing idiot. It was the first time since I was a kid that I'd let a pop song take over me completely like that. Looking back at those couple years when I was reconnecting with pop, that was the moment when everything finally clicked again, and that whole single/video release is easily the pinnacle of '10s pop for me so far.

(the summer after, I was walking with a friend around my town, and a biker guy on a motorcycle sped by us while blasting "We Found Love" on a boombox, and if there's one image that represents how that song makes me feel every time I listen to it, it's that)

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.It was the first time most of my friends really "got" my Gaga obsession

Also the first time I heard 'Video Games' was massive for me

The first time I watched this I was an absolute mess. I already loved the song as Lana had uploaded the audio before, but the beautiful monologues, the fantastic cinematography mixed with what was already such a perfect song for me was just incredible!

zillions. If you're talking "What the fff!" moments where you can't believe you've just heard something so new and extraordinary-sounding that it was SO exciting you could burst....

In recent years it's a lot harder to get the Wow factor cos I've heard a lot of music, but there are loads I fall in love with and obsess about - Queen Of Peace most of all lately, an Epic strings-laden Greek Odyssey of a record.
